In this programme, we talk about why the Irish aren't allowed fireworks, why it's a mug's game in Afghanistan, how the BBC has tried to improve nursery rhymes, the real local history of Humpty Dumpty, Michael Moorecock, Berlesconi, the Hadron Collider, The Indonesian Meteor - as big as an A Bomb, global warming, bankers, bonuses and education.
The Purple Programme, presented by Nick Skeens, Cocker Freeman and Laurence Porter, is a topical radio show that takes a wry look at international, national and local affairs. It's broadcast live every Thursday between 11am and 1pm GMT (UT) to south-east Essex on Saint FM 94.7 (a community radio station) and across the world on www.saintfm.org.uk from studios in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex.
